Chapter 490: Chapter 488 What Do You Want to Do?

Seeing Wen Wen suddenly close his eyes, Bai Cang was somewhat uncertain about Wen Wen’s intentions. What if this act was a ruse to bait him into attacking?

Now was the best opportunity for Bai Cang to flee, but with Wen Wen suddenly motionless, was it a waste not to seize the chance to attack?

After a brief hesitation, Bai Cang prepared to stab Wen Wen with his spear to test the waters, but as he lifted the spear, he found that Wen Wen had abruptly opened his eyes, filled with confidence.

This crafty kid, closing his eyes was indeed a deceit to trick him!

The time Wen Wen had spent in that realm of consciousness wasn’t short, but in the outside world, only a brief moment had actually passed – so brief that Bai Cang hardly had time to probe Wen Wen’s condition.

With his eyes open, Wen Wen’s thoughts stirred as he activated Dark Matter, feeling the power within him and murmuring, "So, I’ve reached the Assimilation Realm now?"

"I thought there would be some earth-shattering changes, but it’s just this... Nevertheless, it’s enough."

In fact, the change in Wen Wen was enormous, incredibly so!

His own strength had reached Disaster Level, and with the superior nature of his ’Dark Matter’ ability, even though he had just entered the Disaster Domain, his power was close to matching the extraordinary Qin Shuang at the Lower Sequence!

However, since he was already accustomed to Disaster Level strength, the enhancement of his own only made him feel exceptionally fulfilled but did not provide him a brand-new experience.

It was like someone who always interacts with tycoons who are ’small goals’ or ’dislike money’, earning a million yuan wouldn’t seem so amazing, but in comparison to the average person, it was already quite impressive.

The most important gain was breaking through the barrier of strength, allowing Wen Wen’s power to no longer be limited to the Disaster Intermediate Sequence.

His own strength, combined with Qin Shuang’s physique and the Faceless Demon Physique, together made Wen Wen far surpass the average Disaster Intermediate Sequence. His strength was now almost equivalent to that of Bai Cang before his recent outburst.

As Bai Cang’s power had been absorbed by Wen Wen, his current strength could no longer maintain an Upper Sequence level. With this weakening and strengthening dynamic, Bai Cang was no longer a match for Wen Wen!

"I should thank you," Wen Wen said. "If it hadn’t been for our fight, I might still be at a standstill now, so I need to repay you."

Bai Cang, on guard, asked, "Repay me by not obstructing my departure, letting me leave directly?"

Wen Wen shook his head and replied, "No, what I mean is, a fair fight with you!"

Having said that, Wen Wen leaped ten meters from where he stood, his hands gripping the Ice Longsword as he slashed down at Bai Cang. Watching Wen Wen’s sudden strike, Bai Cang could only use his spear to block Wen Wen’s Longsword, all while his body was enveloped by golden dragons.

From that slash, the overflowing power created an ice mountain more than a meter wide and several meters tall behind Bai Cang.

Then, this ice mountain was shattered by the colliding forces, its fragments gleaming brilliantly under the sunlight.

"His strength compared to before is worlds apart, how did he achieve this!" Bai Cang’s hand was numb from the impact, and he stared at Wen Wen in shock, jealousy rising in his heart.

He had risked so much for the chance to become stronger, while this guy simply had a fight with him and had eerily increased in strength?

What kind of nonsensical logic was this!

But Wen Wen’s attack wasn’t over yet. He kept his right hand on the Ice Longsword, maintaining the pressure on Bai Cang, while with his left hand, he snapped his fingers, summoning a Battle-axe Steak.

Battle-axe Steak... steak?

Bai Cang’s eyes widened in disbelief. Why was this person taking out a steak?

Then, to Bai Cang’s astonishment, Wen Wen chopped at his shoulder with the battle-axe steak, splattering a stream of fresh blood.

"A steak... can cut someone..."

"Who said a steak can’t cut someone?" Wen Wen seriously countered.

The two fought fiercely for more than ten minutes. During that time, Bai Cang tried to escape, but no matter how fast he ran, he was not faster than Wen Wen’s throwing spear. Eventually, he couldn’t hold on any longer and was chopped to the ground by Wen Wen’s steak.

In the moment of Bai Cang’s defeat, a multicolored energy invisible to ordinary people dissipated from his body, seemingly trying to return to its master.

But before this energy had flown even a meter, it was intercepted by Wen Wen’s hand and completely absorbed into the Sanctuary.

Looking at the still unsatiated Catastrophe Gloves, Wen Wen muttered with resignation, "Really, even after absorbing so much, you don’t give me any feedback."

Lying on the ground, Bai Cang had a look of despair. The multicolored energy he had gone to great lengths to absorb had all vanished after his defeat.

Even if he were to die now, as long as that strength remained, his death would at least have meaning in the pursuit of power.

But with his own failure, that strength disappeared, which meant that the power he had been seeking had never truly belonged to him. It was nothing but false strength.

Observing Bai Cang’s twisted expression, Wen Wen raised an eyebrow. He didn’t know what the man was going crazy about, but now that he had captured him, Wen Wen would deal with him as he saw fit.

First, Wen Wen took his dragon pattern longspear, then stripped off his armor. These items should be considered his spoils of war.

Wen Wen smiled as he busily tied up Bai Cang securely, knocked him out cold, then stood in place for a good while, his expression turning from laughter to somber, seemingly lost in thought.

He looked up, allowing the dappled sunlight streaming through the gaps in the leaves to fall upon his face, his expression complex.

Bai Cang had become a traitor to the Hunter Association in the pursuit of strength, but what difference was there between Wen Wen’s situation and Bai Cang’s?

Perhaps, like Bai Cang, he would soon become a target for the Rangers to hunt.

However, he would not be captured as easily as Bai Cang. Instead, he might even pull off a few spectacular counter-kills.

After pondering for a while, Wen Wen finally made up his mind. He turned to look in the direction of Chief Investigator Zheng Diao and said indifferently, "Come out, I know you’ve been watching me for a long time, since I was on a mission with Flame Sparrow."

As Chief Investigator Zheng Diao, who was stroking his white stubble, heard this, his hands trembled. Had he been discovered?

Mentioning that it started from the mission with Flame Sparrow meant that Wen Wen wasn’t making baseless claims, but had truly noticed his surveillance.

Since he had been discovered, Chief Investigator Zheng Diao didn’t bother to hide any longer. He emerged from the shadows, clapping his hands in admiration and said to Wen Wen, "The young people these days are really too terrifying. Even if I followed another True Order Psychic, they might not be able to detect me."

Wen Wen shrugged and said, "Maybe I’m a bit more sensitive than other True Order Psychics. I don’t know your exact identity, but considering your strength, you’re probably a Deputy Chief Investigator."

"You’re tracking me to investigate my relationship with the Catastrophe-Level Expert ’Black Cross’."

"So as you’ve seen, my fight with Bai Cang has already proven your speculation. What do you plan to do now, kill me or take me away?"
